Multiple drink drivers charged in Tasmania’s northwest

Sunday, 10 May 2026 – 1:07 am.

Tasmania Police has charged several drivers with drink driving offences following a series of incidents across Devonport and the North-West Coast yesterday.
Police were called to a McDonald’s drive-through at Devonport after receiving reports of a male driver displaying concerning behaviour.
Constable Taylah Orders said a 49-year-old man from Point Cook, Victoria, was reported by an off-duty police officer who observed the man exit his vehicle, stumble, and urinate in the drive-through.
“McDonald’s staff also contacted police due to the man’s slurred speech and behaviour,” she said.
“The man was intercepted by police a short time later on Steele Street, Devonport, after reportedly committing multiple traffic offences within 500-metres.”
“Police will allege he failed to provide a roadside breath test before later returning a blood alcohol reading of 0.207 at the police station.”
The man has been charged with exceeding the prescribed alcohol limit and driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor. A 12-month immediate driver licence suspension has been issued.
“Driving at that level of intoxication is extremely dangerous and could have had devastating consequences,” Constable Orders said.
In a separate incident, a 37-year-old woman from Somerset was intercepted on the Bass Highway at Park Grove after police observed her vehicle swerving across the roadway and mounting the kerb.
Upon interception, the driver exited her vehicle and reportedly made her way into the path of oncoming traffic before being assisted by police.
The woman returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.183 and has been charged with exceeding the prescribed alcohol limit and driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor.
As this was her second offence, a 24-month immediate driver licence suspension was issued.
Police also charged a 26-year-old man from Penguin after intercepting his vehicle on Main Street, Ulverstone. He returned a reading of 0.128 and was charged with exceeding the prescribed alcohol limit.
During a targeted traffic operation conducted on Forth Road at Don, police intercepted a 22-year-old man from Whale Beach, New South Wales who returned a reading of 0.066. His penalty includes a three-month disqualification from driving.
Constable Orders said drink driving remains one of the leading contributors to serious and fatal crashes.
“Alcohol significantly impairs judgement, reaction time and coordination,” she said.
“There is no excuse for getting behind the wheel after drinking. If you are planning to consume alcohol, plan another way home.”
